Loud American tourists

@RedBaron Lazy response..There is no truth to that typical american stereotype.. The Irish are not even in the top ten for alchohol consumption in the world.

@mrmistery Yes there is. I had Frank McCourt as a teacher in high school. He told us the truth, especially about his own father, whose alcoholism ruined their family.

@RedBaron So you get one guy like that and we are all the same.. wow you are a special kind of smart lol

@mrmistery Frank grew up in Ireland, Einstein. He confirmed it.

@RedBaron Sounds like he traumatised you lol.. you need a drink

@mrmistery

According to the World Population Review, Ireland is #5 in the world in per capita alcohol consumption and #2 (slightly behind Germany) in western Europe.

@Thinkerbell https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/field/alcohol-consumption-per-capita/country-comparison/ ... Number 15 on this list, guess you can find a list for anything but the US will always top gun crime and obestity lists

@mrmistery He was my favorite teacher.

@mrmistery

Ireland is still in the top 8% in the world on your list, and #3 among major west European countries (after France and Austria), and well above the UK and US.

Nothing to write home about.

@Thinkerbell Shooting everything that moves is nothing to write home about either. but then again i'd guess your lot never stop eating long enough to do much writing.

@mrmistery

The US is #58 worldwide in crime rate, just ahead of Belgium (#59) and Sweden (#60).
Ireland is #70.
